Being Conchita

Meer over het boek

Her performance at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 propelled her to become a worldwide inspiration for millions. However, at the same time her detractors united against her; demonstrations were held before the European Parliament and death threats were issued against her. Conchita Wurst both polarised and fascinated people with her wonderful singing and fearless image; Elton John, Cher, Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier were among the many who publicly admired her talent and courage. Now she talks for the first time about the good and bad of her childhood, her life and the love she received.
